Where did you hear this, open mike? I can't find any news of it. I learned some of his arrangements of old standards, Beatle tunes and fiddle tunes off his Kicking Mule albums and it got me started on arranging my own.

Here is a FB post, apparently this sad news is true: To Dale's Facebook friends. This is his wife Terry. Dale died Monday night from complications of the treatment for lymphoma. He was my soulmate and loving partner/husband for more than 30 years. My fondest memories of him are dancing to his playing in numerous federal and state parks around the west. I know he loved facebook and all his friends in this world --- especially fellow musicians and guitarists. We can remember him through his CDs and on his you-tube channel where you can see his elegant fingers at work.

I wish I hadn't visited Mudcat tonight. This is very distressing. J J Cale a few weeks ago and now Dale Miller, The great ones are checking out. My most sincere sympathy to Mrs. Miller and all family, relations and friends.

I came to learn about Mr Miller through articles in Acoustic Guitar Magazine, and then followed up on his work, because I liked the character of the man that shone through his words. Then I heard his music. A true musician, dedicated, always exploring and always encouraging others. Obviously a gifted a teacher and caring human being, he will always be there in his music as an inspiration. My condolences to family and friends. -- Ev

Remembering the great Dale Miller. Dale invited me for a lesson one Saturday after his McCabes concert (thirty years ago) to the house of Bob Baxter in Calabasas. All he wanted for payment was a can of shaving cream. He taught me his version of Somewhere over the Rainbow. I have played it in countless coffee houses over the last thirty years. He was a fine fellow, true gentleman, with a guitar case plastered with airline stickers from all over the world. I shall always remember him with great fondness.

R.I.P. Dale... I hadn't been made aware of J.J. Cale's (R.I.P.) demise. Unfortunately, I was only turned on to Dale's work 4-5 years ago & never had the opportunity to see/meet/hear him in-person. Thoughts of sympathy to the families of BOTH of these fine songwriters' songwriters/musicians' musicians
